Welcome to the "Web Projects" forums. Before you post, make sure you've selected the correct category based on the size of your project (in US dollars), or whether it is a partnership or "looking for work" request instead. Observe the guidelines for this section:

To all thread starters, check your "pm" box for responses, as that's how bidders will be communicating with you mainly using. You can turn on new pm notification by going to "User CP"-> "Edit Options"-> "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages".

To respondents, avoid replying to a thread with a short generic response like "pm sent" as much as possible. It is pointless and clutters up the screen.

To respondents, don't reply to a work request with a summary of your resume. If you're not willing to spend the time to at least read the request and respond specifically to the request, then don't reply. The Web Projects forum isn't a place to get your resume/ portfolio posted on as many threads as possible, it's for the direct, human interaction between coder and client. Members who blanket the forums with their resume replies will be treated as spammers and banned.

To all thread starters, please update your thread's prefix to "resolved", when you've found a coder for your project or partnership (or wish to terminate the request). This is so coders don't waste time bidding on an invalid project. To do this, click on the "Edit" button under the first post of the thread, then the "Go Advanced" button. You have 14 days to update your thread's title.

Thanks for following the guidelines.

Well what ohgod was trying to get at is, you don't say what the game is going to be about. Do you have an idea of what it is going to look like and how it is going to work? If so, is it written down? Have you decided what you are going to use to make them game? If you haven't, you might want to look at the Torque MMO kit.

You are kind of putting the cart in front of the horse here with getting servers. You need a solid plan first. You don't need serious hardware until you actually have the basics of a working game.

That is just a few, some people can do multiple things but that makes it harder and more time consuming to finish. You can't just buy servers and start a game. It will take a minimum of 2 years to have a working model.

So $100,000 will get you the basics, enough to get started.

Rowsdower! has accused me of having mental problems, and the administrator allowed it. What a great forum huh?

Seriously though OP, leave the shorthand at the phone, this is a forum and for most users on a computer that has a full keyboard! So, you can go a head and type out those extra two letters, not only is it easier for us (coming from a young adult, who uses shorthand) but it also makes you more professional looking and/or serious about it. If you don't even take the extra second to type out a legible sentence, I couldn't even imagine (Well, I could and it wouldn't be pretty) the quality of the game.

What type of MMORPG are you looking for, I'm assuming that being in the middle of starting (?), that you have the basic ideas of what you are wanting feature wise. While a text-based (aka Browser Game) can be coded single handed fairly shortly while a downloaded client or a 3d game will take months to years to complete, and price wise would greatly differ. Are you going to be offering any help with the game besides money? If so it might be useful to include anything else you'll be doing or any language you know. In order to get helpful replies we need to know more then your computer specs .
